Dumplings. Life. One moment you've got a plate full of fresh, hot dumplings - next thing you know they're all gone, and you're left wondering where everything went. Here at Mortal Dumpling, however, we believe that if you don't attempt the sisyphean task of eating your fill of dumplings, you've given up on life. We focus on Asian speciality foods: particularly on all types of dumplings, from Chinese dim sum to Japanese mochi. Because it is the labor and technique of making these foods that makes them so special, rather than the use of expensive or rare ingredients, these foods play an important role in the lives of people all across Asia. The traditions of making them are often passed down in the home, rather than professionally, in restaurants. They play a large role in daily cuisines, as well as often being a big part of holiday meal traditions.

History of the Shrine: Two priests of the Oblates of St. Joseph came to the West Coast in 1931 to minister to the large number of Italian immigrants in the Diocese and throughout California. In 1933 a house was purchased in Santa Cruz to be used as a seminary. In March 1949 the Oblates prayed a novena to their patron, St. Joseph. A benefactor appeared on December 8, 1949, and deeded a parcel of bayside property to them to be used for religious purposes. Ground-breaking for the construction of a seminary and chapel took place on September 30, 1951. By July 29, 1952, the first Mass was celebrated in the chapel. In March 1952 Bishop Willinger had granted permission for pilgrimages to this “shrine.” He blessed the chapel on August 31, 1952, as a “semi-public oratory dedicated to St. Joseph.” From 1952 until 1992, the construction remained with the incomplete appearance of a crypt. The dream of the early Oblates one day to construct on top a large National Shrine of St. Joseph went unrealized for some forty years. Finally in late 1992 extensive remodeling was begun on the chapel and completed in 1993. On November 3, 1993 the chapel was dedicated by Bishop Sylvester Ryan of the Diocese of Monterey and declared to be a diocesan shrine according to the norms of canon law, with the title “Shrine of St. Joseph, Guardian of the Redeemer.” The title is chosen after the name of the apostolic exhortation on St. Joseph, Redemptoris Custos, “Guardian of the Redeemer,” written by Pope John Paul II. Bishop Ryan also encased under the altar a relic of Saint Joseph Marello, Bishop of Acqui and founder of the Oblates of St. Joseph, who recently had been beatified on September 26, 1993, and Canonized on November 25th, 2001. Chapel: The Shrine chapel continues to serve as a place of devotion for the Oblate religious community, and for individual and group pilgrims from near and far. It contains a variety of beautiful devotional artwork, the most striking of which is a six foot by eight foot original Italian wood carving of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary, Guardian of Jesus, and Patron of the Church. Art Exhibit: The unique St. Joseph Art Exhibit illustrates the life of St. Joseph beginning with his betrothal to Mary, the dream to take Mary as his wife, the consent, the visitation, the Nativity, the adoration of the Magi, the circumcision, and the presentation of Jesus in the Temple. It continues with the flight into Egypt, and the hidden life at Nazareth, and concludes with his peaceful death in the arms of Jesus and Mary. The exhibit includes interesting descriptions of St. Joseph’s role in the Mystery of Salvation. St. Joseph is seen as an obedient servant of God, the devoted husband of Mary, the loving father of Jesus, and the protector of the Holy Family. He is also portrayed as Patron of the Church, of the New World, of families, of workers, of unborn children and expectant parents, of migrants and refugees, and of a peaceful death.
